Guess this is a good place to start
Hello, my name is Brian. I had my 25th birthday recently and I'm trying to make some positive changes in my life so I'm better off at 30 than I am now. Part of this is to renew my efforts in meditation and lucid dreaming. I have worked on both previously, but I tend to lose focus on become inconsistent. I've managed to have a few lucid dreams in the past, mostly from unwittingly using the WBTB method when I would wake up during the night and having that lead to a DILD. My lucidity levels tend to be quite high when this occurs, once I realize I'm dreaming the dream world becomes my oyster and I'm free to act and transform the world around me as I please. Unfortunately, possibly due to this high level of lucidity, the world tends to dissolve back into the waking state after only 5-10 seconds, so it's a lot of fun while it lasts, but there isn't an opportunity to do much. I've also had a few simulated lucid dreams, I can tell which ones are real and which ones are simulated because the simulated ones tend to last for several minutes where I do a bunch of random things you might associate with lucid dreaming, but would never be my first instinct in an actual lucid dream.
So, I hope to improve that situation to have more fulfilling LDs, and of course I would like to go from having a few in my life to maybe a few a month, or even a few a week someday. I'm also very active in the virtual reality community (hence the forum handle) very fun stuff, hopefully it will reach the potential that lucid dreaming offers someday, but for now there are still limitations.
